SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       MIME::Explode is perl module for parsing and decoding single or multipart MIME messages,
       and outputting its decoded components to a given directory ie, this module is designed to
       allows users to extract the attached files out of a MIME encoded email messages or
       mailboxes.

METHODS

   new([, OPTION ...])
       This method create a new MIME::Explode object. The following keys are available:

       output_dir
              Directory where the decoded files are placed

       mkdir => octal_number
              If the value is set to octal number then make the output_dir directory (example:
              mkdir => 0755).

       check_content_type => 0 or 1
              If the value is set to 1 the content-type of file is checked

       decode_subject => 0 or 1
              If the value is set to 1 then the subject is decoded into a list.

                $header->{'0.0'}->{subject}->{value} = [ARRAYREF];
                $header->{'0.0'}->{subject}->{charset} = [ARRAYREF];
                $subject = join("", @{$header->{'0.0'}->{subject}->{value}});

       exclude_types => [ARRAYREF]
              Not save files with specified content types (deprecated in next versions)

       content_types => [ARRAYREF]
              Array reference with content types for "include" or "exclude"

       types_action => "include" or "exclude"
              If the action is a "include", all attached files with specified content types are
              saved but if the action is a "exclude", no files are saved except if its in the
              array of content types. If no array is specified, but the action is a "include",
              all attached files are saved, otherwise all files are removed if action is a
              "exclude". The default action is "include".

   parse(FILEHANDLE, FILEHANDLE)
       This method parse the stream and splits it into its component entities.  This method
       return a hash reference with all parts. The FILEHANDLE should be a reference to a GLOB.
       The second argument is optional.

   nmsgs
       Returns the number of parsed messages.

   clean_all
       Cleans all files from the "output_dir" directory and then removes the directory. If an
       error happens returns it.
